On the latest episode of Raw, more developments unfold as the Women’s WarGames match draws near. Jade Cargill has been officially ruled out of the event due to injuries sustained from a backstage attack on SmackDown, leaving the face team in search of a replacement.
Bianca Belair and Naomi deliberated over candidates to fill Cargill’s spot. While Iyo Sky proposed Kairi Sane, Belair and Naomi leaned towards Bayley. Rhea Ripley intervened, expressing indifference to the choice as long as they avoided Liv Morgan. Belair criticized Ripley’s leadership.
In a backstage segment, The Miz dispatched the Final Testament to locate the Wyatt Six, leading to a brief scare when Nikki Cross startled Scarlett.
General Manager Adam Pearce made a significant announcement before the show: the introduction of the Women’s Intercontinental Championship, with a tournament set to commence next week.
Bianca Belair vs. Nia Jax
The main event featured a non-title WarGames advantage match between Nia Jax and Bianca Belair. Jax dominated early, delivering a running splash in the corner. Belair countered with agility, executing a dropkick that sent Jax to the floor. After a commercial break, Jax missed a sit-down splash and a charge into the post, allowing Belair to capitalize. Despite Jax’s powerful leg drop and middle-rope maneuver for near falls, Belair showcased her strength by gorilla pressing Jax. The match saw Jax attempting her signature Annihilator, only for Belair to evade and deliver a 450 splash, securing the victory.
Winner: Bianca Belair
This win grants Belair’s team the advantage in the upcoming Women’s WarGames match. The episode effectively built anticipation for Survivor Series: WarGames, but the real highlight of last night’s Raw was the announcement of the Women’s Intercontinental Title! Big news for women’s wrestling fans but sound off on what you thought of the build to WarGames below!
